Byrd leads Riviera with 68 in blustery Northern Trust Open
Jonathan Byrd opened Riviera with a 3-under 68 to take the early lead as gusts up to 20 mph challenged players. K J Choi and Brendan Steele matched 69, Luke Donald shot 70, while Bubba Watson and Justin Rose posted 70s. Mickelson followed in the afternoon with wind remaining fierce. Byrd described anxious from the bluff winds but kept a conservative plan, logging early birdies and a late stumble on 18 while keeping the round under control. The day featured low scoring struggles, with seven morning starters breaking par at Riviera and a rougher pace for others like Estes and Cantlay.
